Hi Designers,

Is there any reason we shouldn't put a search icon next to the "search" text box in the app? (see image)

The reason I ask is:
- We've received more than one complaint on OTRS saying that the Search field is not discoverable (because it doesn't look like a normal text box).
- Every other app that implements any kind of "search" functionality has an icon, so it's universally recognizable.
